'There's danger everyday'

But Toronto psychologist Dr. Oren Amitay believes the series will help assure audiences they are safe by highlighting Canada's vast security network.

"Research shows that our sense of danger is based more on our perceived threat rather than reality," said Amitay.

"This program can heighten that sense of danger or threat, but it can also make us feel that if we know that there are systems in place, there are people in charge who are able to take care of this danger, we can have a better sense of security and well-being."

Dianna Bodnar, the show's supervising producer, recognized the series debuts at a time when security issues are top of mind for many Canadians. She said she hopes the stories of "everyday heroes" will inspire confidence and hope.

"What I really hope people take away from the show is to be able to expand your mind and your imagination to walk in someone's shoes," explained Bodnar.

"To really think about what they might be thinking and feeling and find out more about what they are undergoing."
